- Kono's Meimon cone paper for the Meimon dripper, sold in MD-25 (about 2 cups) and MD-45 (about 4 cups). It's a conical paper that shares the V60 seat, so it drops into a standard V60-class cone as well as a Kono — handy if the Kono paper is easier to find than the reverse. Kono publishes no flow rating for it and there's no reliable within-seat ranking against other cone papers, so we leave flow unrated rather than guess. Pick the size to your batch, and a rinse before brewing is the usual habit for any single-use cone paper.

- How it brews
- A dense abaca paper that drains slowly — in a fast dripper the paper itself can become the rate-limiter, holding water in contact with the bed for longer. Brewers tend to find more body and a rounder, more layered cup, at some cost to top-note clarity. In one roaster's blind test on a floral honey coffee — same recipe, only the paper changed — the T-92 cup read as noticeably more complex than the faster T-90 (author testimony, a single coffee, not a controlled study). Because it drains slowly it can stall on fine grinds or high-fines coffees; if drawdown creeps well past your target, grind a touch coarser.
